Hi,
I have started to see a small shadow in the bottom of a number of my images. I have eliminated most of the the possible causes, except for the possibility that the shutter is not quite clearing the sensor consistently. I watched the image acquisition of a bunch of flats taken at >5 seconds each and some had this artifact and some did not. I haven't taken the camera off the scope yet to look at it, but I will be doing so soon. In the meanwhile, the camera has firmware 3.33 and was serviced earlier this year by ATIK for another issue. Is the shutter a user adjustable item? I've attached a portion of an image that shows the shadow that appears.
Thanks,
-Jim

What exposure duration?

In my case, the exposure duration does not matter

I don't think there is any alternative than to contact Atik service. I've never heard of these shutters being something that can be serviced by a user.
